You should keep your Lampe Berger lit for about 20 minutes, no longer. That’s the sweet spot for most rooms.

Most chicks need a heat lamp for the first 4 to 6 weeks of life. They start at around 95°F in week one, and you drop the temperature by about 5 degrees each week until they grow their feathers. Once your chicks are fully feathered and the outside temps stay warm, they’re ready to go…

You should leave your bearded dragon’s heat lamp on for 10 to 12 hours every day. This matches the natural daylight cycle they’d get in the Australian desert, and it keeps their tank at the right temperature during waking hours. When the lights go off at night, so does the heat lamp. Here’s the thing:…

Most ducklings need a heat lamp for 3 to 6 weeks, depending on the temperature around them. We found that the safest rule is to watch the ducklings, not the calendar. If they huddle under the lamp, they’re cold. If they spread out to the edges, they’re too hot. So how do you know when…

You should keep your bearded dragon’s heat lamp on for 10 to 12 hours every day, mimicking a natural daylight cycle. The easiest way to get this right is to turn it on in the morning and shut it off at night, every single day. Yes, that means weekends and holidays too — your dragon…
